Narrative
Joseph was from Budganja vas, per Edward Pecjak in a conversation with GTomsic about 2000. Aunt Josie said Zuzemberk in another intrview. Seems they are about the same thing. Budganja vas is adjacent to Zuzemberk--2 km to west and just touching. Joseph's birthdate and home were confirmed with Slovenian genealogists. His Ellis Island record (I think) and marriage day info has been obtained.
Narrative
Had 7 bothers and 1 step brother - per Edward Pecjak interview in 09/17/1997 with GWT.
Narrative
Given name, Joseph, verified in the St. Vitus marriage record of 1905, wherein it is recorded that he married Josepha Mirtic.
